What would it take?

And to say all he did was just throw up a jump ball is selling him short. The Giants DL was nasty both times, but Eli was also clutch. Hence 2 Super Bowl MVP’s. The second SB against NE he completed 75% of his passes, and had a 103.7 rating even though he was sacked 3 times.

But Eli overall had a very pedestrian career.

60.3% Completion
7.0 YPA
1.5 TD/1 INT Ratio
84.1 QB Rating

If you had to stat out what the bare statistical necessities are for you to be content (but not happy) with your QB, that would be Eli Manning's career.

He just got lucky where he ended up, because as we saw... Rivers went to where Manning was supposed to go, was a better quarterback, and didn't win any SB. He goes somewhere else and he's a worse Andy Dalton.
